The Moving/Rolling Trading & Delisting Thread 2018

Keep 5 & Young.

[bulldogtragic]

I think McGovern is going to command a late first rounder, Young as good as I think he will be is only going to command a late second rounder. He can't get a game in a poor team, albeit it one with plenty of taller defenders.

Any move he makes will likely help us secure points, that's it unfortunately.

That's not a bad way to look at it. Say MM is about pick 18, and say Young about pick 30. About a 12 pick differential. The question to Adelaide is if that 12 pick effective downgrade, is worth the upgrade from pick 8 into pick 5 (Rankine) and both players being SA boys unlikely to leave. If that top 10 upgrade is worth equal to, or more than the effective 12 pick differential in players, in the eyes of the crows list manager/recruiters then maybe they're prepared to do something. If it's not, it dies a natural death in this thread.

My postman just rang, expect whole sale cuts and trades at whitten oval at the end of the season. Too many party boys Don’t be surprised if Biggs and Dahlhaus are elsewhere next year.

SHOCKED! I mean really, are we surprised?

I'd personally like to keep Young. I see him as a possible athletic KPF more than a defender. He still lacks a bit of muscle atm but he is still young (not trying to be funny but if it is I'll take it). He's been played prominently in defense so far which is fine right now but I'd like to see him pushed up forward soon. He has a similar body shape to a Charlie Curnow and is a reasonable contested mark. He's no Curnow I know but given a decent run as a forward could have a good outcome. Plus we seem over stocked with defenders as well.

Personally, I would see Young being at best a mid third rounder (40+), especially in a draft considered to be stronger than average. Given that, Adelaide would absolutely want more on top of 5 + Young for 8 + McGovern. Personally, if they were desperate for a top 5 pick, their two first round picks would probably get the job done and maybe a little more, depending on exactly where they and Melbourne finish. Currently they would have pick 8,11,19 and potentially McGovern/Sloane. That might end up being 8,9,12,20 and say 18ish for McGovern, which would easily get them a very early pick with plenty left over.

I'd imagine Redpath is in that group too.

I like Biggsy's instagram and he'll always be a GF legend but right now quite a few players have gone past him in the back half and even Roarke Smith's game against Geelong would have him ahead.

Would trading Young & 5 for McGovern & 8 fly? The crows may get a tad desperate in wanting the chance to land Rankine, and may lose McGovern no matter what, plus they land a local boy KPD off us.

I couldn't sign off on that deal quick enough if given the opportunity. If Young has suitors now he may not have any in 12 months' time. McGovern is a known quantity and will improve ANY team in the competition, and is still very much in the right age profile with his best footy ahead of him.

Adelaide want Rankine desperately and might well be tempted to do such a deal to land the pick to get him, especially if they rate Young.

[Happy Days]

Not to diss your postie T&T, but would it really be that surprising if the fringe, out of contract defender and the guy with an all-but-confirmed offer from a rival club both left the club? Sounds like self-fulfilling prophecy, especially with a couple more probbo guys on our list in seemingly no danger.

According to Bevo today in his press conference, Biggs is a required long term player. Who knows.

Unless he plays like he did against Port Adelaide again.

Does three months count as long term? It would for an injury. I guess that confirms it, he's gone.

That's like saying the coach has the full support of the board.

Very funny

First thing I thought too but Bevo actually seems to mean it when he says stuff like that. One thing about our coach is that he doesn't just mouth platitudes about players.
